The country will, 'hewer' betrmiquil ;..there will always be hordes yf: They destroy. us by little and little. Every day. we lost.m - e4 in Seville, or other places, either by mq,sketry, or tbe,daggers of the peasantry. In Seville a peasant «ill scarcely hesitate -to kill in open day a soldier when) he - meets alone in the-street. They carry, their cruelties to excess; Lhave proofs of it. Wel - e it not Tor a patiole, which was pasting .through a street, where Ir . vas attacked, by two peasants, „I should have been murdered.

'.411 thB soldiers must go thither straight, for they h ave stlf tere,l dreadfully in Spain,. whether from fatigue or abstinence. They perform peudance sometirtet,-but it is by corripulsion. They have been often three days without bread, which in all conscience is fast ing enough. All that I wish for is to die in .the field of battle, and instantly, - rather titan fall into .the hands of these murderers, - who prick us with their knives, and before they kill us subject us to themost cruel tortures. This I 'can speak from occular demonstration. They murdered a soldier of the 88th regiment at Seville;* he had more than thirty knife-wounds from the head to the, belly: The !oldier - being' overtaken in liquor, they all 'full on him in in operi day, arid stabbed him with their large knives in the manner I have described.

PLACES OF I Lord Viscount SIDIMUTH observed upon the great and increasing evil which arose from the want of a sufficient number of places of worship of the established ChUrch, and, the want of means of ac commodation for communicants of that Church in populous parishes, in consequence of which many -persons - of the establishment were ioduced to attend, Dissenting meeting Houses, rather than not attend any place of.vforstilp. The increase of Meeting .HoUses beyond that of places of worship: , of the Established Church, might be aitributed to several causes. The Fortner were erected for a less sum, and in addition, difficulties 'frequently occurred re-, speding the latter, relative to the right of pre. sentation. A facility also arose.in the former cdse, fr lin Dissenting Alioisters haviu b o - other occnpation't, and therefcce being satisfied with less for their ser;; vices at the Meting Houses, than could support a clergyman of the .Estatlllished Church. It was there fore a subject deserv\ng of serious considsration, and ip order that the H ouse m i g h t ha ve .i n f ormat i on be fore them relative to if i n th e nex t S ess i o n; hi s Lord :ship moved an Address to,his Majesty, praying, that the Archbishops and Bishops might be directed to prepare in their respective dioceses, to be laid before :he House, a statement of the number of places of I worship of the 'Established Church in parishes hay ing a popukition of !ANY and - upwards, with the number Of persons such places of warship are capable of containing : and also the number of Dissenting Meeting Houses in such parishes: Lord'Hor-LAND had no objeetion to the motion, but remarked upon the statement of his , Noble Friend relative to the superior cheapness of Dissent ing Ministers, observing that the luxury of the Esta- , Wished Church had been found too dear for the in habitants of .ramaica,who would Apt pay the.ainount considered necessary for its support in that Island, with the view of giv►ng•religious instruction to the tiegroes. Lord Viscount SIDMOUTH" obierved, that there could not be considered any g' eat luxury in the Esta bli,hed Church, when it appeared • that out of 10,000 livings upwards of 4000 were under - 1501.- per annum. The motion was agreed to. APPEALS. The LORD CHANCRLLOR, with a view that the subject should be taken info consideration in the next Session, moved that the i:ouse:do in the next Session take into consideration the state of the Ap peals and Writs of Error before the House, and the best means to be adopted to put them in a more ef fetlual course of decision, which, after a fey., words from the Earl of Lauderdale, was agreed_ to. EAST INDIA COMPANY. The Earl ot, Livettrool. moved the third reading of'tl3e East India Company's Loan ,Bill, observing, that ' the special 'grounds on which this application was now made to Parliament, _were, that a- consider able debt bad been incurred in consequ ence of the wars iii ,i which this country was materially - interested, and in consequence of the creditors hav ing an option of ,drawing Bills on the Company in England, had 'been drawn to the amount Of upwards of 4,000,0001.; and in addition to this, the loss sustained by the Company E - Nil the late calami ties s hich had happened to their shipping, amounted to nearly a million. • The Earl of LAUDERDALE entered into a detailed statement, for- the iforpos.e of strewing- the unpro siierous state of the affairs of the Company, and the little prospeo there was of this . money being,repaid. The Act or 1793 required-that the Debt of the Corn rot). in India should be reduCed to 2,000,0001. ; the - Bond 1341 to Englatid.to 500,0001.; that 500,0001. per annum should be paid to the public; and That sumst7oUld accumulate to make up the amount of 12000,0001. as a -security for the holders of the Ca pital Otock.. I,,stead or this, the Debt in India had ac:Aitriulated io 32,000,000 h t! .e Bond Debt in Eng and to 4,000,0001. ; the 500,0001. ,unpaid to public now amounted to 7,000,0001.; and these 1 sums, added to,..tbe 12;000,0001. made a difference, 1 'of 52,009,00 a His Lrirdship also contended, that r it appeared from the balance paper of Stock, per computation 'laid, before Parliament, that the Com pany was now 1 - 6,000,0001. worse than nothing.— The Nozile Lord adverted to the late traltsaation in Madras, - observing, that no Government ever de : servvd more. reprobation than_the,Aladras Govern.- - meni, for its einidat in those transactions—a con. &et which. in' one instance was wholly unaccount able, it having suspended and sent home Colonel Boles for signing military orders by order of his su perior oamr, and appointed to the same situation Colonel Sutherland Macdowall, who had signed one half of the very s.mie orders. With respect to the forged bonds of the Nabob of Arcot, the condua of the,otficers of Qovernment was als2 highly rrpre hen•ible. The Earl of HAnitowßY declined entering into any detailed-'sate of the Affairs of the East India ' Company, there not being t sufficient materials be fore the House for that purpose. He admitted there had been disappointmeat, but no blatne.was im putable to any one. Tbe'present sum was asked in order to give time to the Company to bring about their affairs. The condo& of the. Madras Govern ment in the late transactions *as,' he contended, deserving of 41,e highest praise. 'The circumstance respeding Colouti Suthetland Macdowall he bad now heard' for the first time.' 'With respea to the forged bonds, his Lordsltip observed, that the con duct of the Officers of Governtnent was wholly un deserving of blame. The Earl of CLANCARTX entered , into some de tail, for the purpose of disproving the statements of the Earl of LAuderdale; and observed, that the ba larce sheet of Stock per computation, was varying every day, and did not' thew the profits of (he Com pany, which, he' contended, was proved by other documents to have arisen, in succeeding years -lip to last year, to h considerable amount. Government . . had , he observed, in' the money due to the Com. Pony, seLurity for a considerable pail of t h e sum vow proposed to be advanced.. The - Earl of LAVDERPAI,E replied, and m alln sion to the appointment of Colonel Sutherland Macdowall, observed, that he knew the fad of that Officer's having signed those very orders,. for sign ing which Colouel Boles was suspended., With re sped to the bonds, he Stated, that it appeared upon' one Of the trials 41 Madras, that the AJ.l%;ocate Ge-, neral was in possession of one of them. The Bill was read a third time, and passed.— Adjourned.
